GeorgiValentinovich,

Iam sorry that I am a day late with my
article[1]; I was not well yesterday and
in general the work is going terribly hard these last few days.

Thearticle turned out longer than I thought and had to be divided into two
parts; in the second part I shall make a detailed analysis of Novobrantsev and
draw conclusions.

Iconsider that my article should have a signature and so I am taking a
pseudonym, otherwise, pending the announcement, it will probably be
inconvenient for you.

Willyou please also insert my
statement[2]appended herewith in the issue ofIskracontaining the announcement about the Congress. Of course, in the
event of complete peace being established in the Party (which I am hoping for)
and if you were to find it necessary, I could, among other peace terms, discuss
also the non-publication of this statement.

Yourssincerely,N. Lenin
